• The First Explorers
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
How did the search for a water
route to Asia affect both Europe and
the Americas?
The Crusades and the Renaissance led
Europeans to look beyond their borders.
As European sailors searched for shorter
routes to the riches of Asia, they came into
contact with the people of the Americas.
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
Ancestors of today’s Native Americans crossed into
the Americas from Asia thousands of years ago.
There are also
many theories
about people
from Europe,
Asia, and Africa
who might have
visited the
Americas in the
distant past.
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
In Newfoundland, scientists have found the remains of a
settlement of Vikings, a seagoing people who originally
lived in Scandinavia.
According to one old
Viking story, in 1001,
a man named Leif
Erickson and 35 other
Vikings sailed from a
colony in Greenland
to Newfoundland.
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
No one knows if Christopher Columbus heard
the Viking stories, but he believed he could
reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic
Ocean.
Columbus grew up in Italy
and, in the 1470s, moved to
Portugal, Europe’s leading
seafaring nation.
There, he studied and developed his idea for a
voyage to Asia.
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
The king of Portugal refused to finance
Columbus’s voyage, so Columbus
sought help from Spain’s King
Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
They eventually agreed, and in August 1492,
Columbus set sail with his three ships, the Niña,
the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
On October 12, Columbus landed on a small
island and claimed it for Spain.

Columbus then sailed to present-day Cuba and
Hispaniola.
He continued
to believe he
was in Asia.
Columbus sailed back to Spain, where the king and
queen made him governor of the “West Indies.”

Chapter

Columbus made three other voyages to the Caribbean
islands.

The Voyages of Columbus
Second
Voyage
• In 1493, Columbus took soldiers, settlers,
and priests to the “West Indies” to colonize
them and to convert the people who lived
there to Christianity.
• He also landed on other islands and enslaved
local Native Americans to dig for gold.
Third
Voyage
• In 1498, Columbus reached the northern
coast of South America and decided it was
the Asian mainland.
Fourth
Voyage
• In 1502, Columbus tried to prove that he had
indeed reached the Asian mainland on his
third voyage.
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
In 1506, when Columbus died in Spain, he was
still convinced that he had reached Asia.
However, when Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci
made two trips to the new lands, he thought he
was in a “new world,” not Asia.
The word “America” comes from Vespucci’s
name.

In 1510, Spanish colonist Vasco Núñez de Balboa
explored the Caribbean coast of what is now
Panama.
He became the
first European
to see the
Pacific Ocean.

In 1519, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan set
out to find an Atlantic-Pacific passage to Asia.
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
For more than a year, Magellan’s small fleet sailed
down the South American coast looking for a strait.
Near the southern tip of
present-day Argentina,
Magellan found a narrow
passage.
About 38 days later, his ships
exited what is today called
the Strait of Magellan into
the Pacific Ocean.
The Age of Exploration
Chapter
2 Section 1
However, Asia was still far away. When Magellan’s fleet
finally reached the Philippine Islands, he and others
were killed in a battle with Filipinos.
The survivors of the battle
fled and reached Spain in
1522.
Those men became the
first to circumnavigate
Earth.
